Windy Weekend Weather Hitting New High Sunday

Some dangerous wind gusts are expected throughout the region.

Major bursts of wind will be sweeping across New England the next 24 hours, prompting several weather warnings. Here are some quick-hit notes for what you need to know:

  • A wind advisory is in effect for the vast majority of Massachusetts and Rhode Island until 10 p.m. Sunday. The southeasternmost tip of Massachusetts and the Cape & Islands are under a high wind warning, as is the southern portion of Rhode Island, from 1 a.m. - 10 a.m. Sunday. The waters in that area are under a storm warning, while the rest of the coast is under a gale warning.
  • The areas under the most severe warnings will have the strongest sustained and maximum wind gusts. Gusts between 55-65 miles per hour are expected in southern parts of the region; The rest of the state can expect between 40-50 mph gusts. Power outages are possible, though they would likely be far more isolated than the outages of a couple weeks ago.
  • The temperature is going to be wishy-washy. Expect highs up to 60 degrees and lows down to freezing by the time Monday begins. Rain will persist overnight Saturday into Sunday morning.
